Entertainment Online Report
“The second season of The Voice of China will officially start on June 11! Super Boys will follow soon after.”

"A person in charge of Mango TV responded to the media that "The Voice of China" and "Happy Boys" are both high-quality talent shows."

"Blueberry TV has a different view on this. The deputy director of Blueberry TV responded to the reporter, 'The Voice of China' focuses on voice and selects singers."

"Happy Boys focuses on idols, while The Voice of China is not a talent show. The three producers have stated this publicly from the beginning."

Cheng Long's decision to star in "Chinese Police" has surprised netizens.

"Didn't you always say Hua Zai? How come you became the big brother?"

"Brother Long's IQ and EQ make him worthy of being the big brother of the film industry. Just look at the subject matter! The big brother of special subject series is sober."

"Brother, how much is the salary for starring in "Chinese Police"?"

"What about Huazai?"

On June 4, the domestic premiere of "Passengers" was held at the Beijing Grand Hall.

Sina live video broadcast, Princess Six will broadcast the next day.

City Hall

Several main creators of "Passengers" including Li Chen arrived early.

Fan Qiaoqiao and Li Ming are media darlings.

Zhu Yilong brought his junior sisters Di Lieba and Zhang Hanyun to be interviewed by Sina.

Zhang Hanyun made a cameo appearance as a holographic projection in "Passengers".

She had never studied acting at that time, so this kind of supporting role that did not require any expression was most suitable for her.

"Boss, 'The Spy' is the former 'Shang Mei'. The bureau didn't approve it at the time."

"Weinstein and his team got the film in Hong Kong and it was officially renamed "The Spy Who Came to Power" at the 08 Shanghai Film Festival!"

Yang Siwei reported to Li Chen incessantly about this movie that Li Chen had almost forgotten.

He doesn't care what Huayi is doing.

Gongli and Chow Yun-fat are no longer the representatives of the former "Mou girls" and "Chow Yun-fat and Chow Yun-fat".

Today, Gongli has lost all popularity due to her nationality issue, and adding Zhou Runfa will not help.

What’s more, Chow Yun-fat’s blockbusters in the past two years have repeatedly flops and simply cannot carry the box office.

Movies like "Yellowstone Child" and "Confucius" were even joked by netizens as two box office poisons squeezed together.

"How much does this play cost?" Li Chen asked casually.

"It's said to be 5000 million US dollars. Boss, Wang Zhonglei is here." Yang Siwei saw Wang Zhonglei smiling like a white lotus.

He is accompanied by a woman who has the biggest mouth in the whole country.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, people started to walk on the red carpet.

Wang Zhonglei looked radiant.

Feng Xiaogang has also been a frequent hot search recently.

He was just criticized by Sun Haiying for being pretentious. Don’t say that he is not an art film director, but an entertainment film director. China has become a desert of entertainment films!
He then continued to do his own thing and responded to Sun Haiying with a simple but powerful remark: I like him very much, or at least he would just say it directly if he didn't like me.

He even made a bold statement: "Earthquake" is not afraid of any opponent, including "Inception", and welcomes other films to be released at the same time as "Earthquake".

If it weren't for the fact that this guy's butt was a little crooked, Li Chen would really like to give him a thumbs up.

"Director Li, congratulations! Passengers was a big hit at Cannes and The Conjuring 2 made me so envious that my soul flew away."

Wang Zhonglei brought Yao Chen and laughed out loud before they even got close to Li Chen.

The Conjuring 2 has been released for more than a month and has grossed 3.1 million yuan worldwide, making a lot of money. Wang Zhonglei is now seriously ill with conjunctivitis.

Li Chen didn't expect that Wang Zhonglei would come so early today.

"Mr. Wang's work is also quite impressive. He fell in love with Fox with "Love in the City" and "The Spy Who Came in" brought up the Weinstein scandal again."

"If all our domestic filmmakers can move forward like President Wang, then Hollywood will be our backyard."

Wang Zhonglei laughed out loud: "Director Li, Siwei, let me introduce you, this is our Huayi's newly signed artist Yao Chen."

Wang Zhonglei was very proud of himself because Yao Chen's number of fans on Weibo was increasing rapidly.

She is also the only female star under Huayi with over one million fans on Weibo.

In this respect, she is second only to Liu Yifei.

Even though Yang Mi and Zhou Xun are more popular than Yao Chen, when it comes to marketing themselves, neither of them is a match for the national big mouth.

Yao Chen's eyes sparkled, and when he smiled, his white teeth showed, like an evil flower that wanted to eat people.

She had long wanted to meet this unrivaled director.

I just had no way out, and today the opportunity finally came.

"Director Li, I'm actor Yao Chen. It's an honor to meet you." Yao Chen bowed slightly and nodded.

Try to be neither humble nor arrogant.

He and Ling Xiaosu are now a fairy couple on the Internet, and their love show is known to everyone on the Internet.

Li Chen nodded slightly and said to Wang Zhonglei with a smile: "Boss Wang is very good at praising people. I am ashamed to say that I am not as good as him."

Wang Zhonglei secretly cursed Li Chen for being so shameless.

Which of the golden flowers under your command is the easiest to deal with?

Several media outlets saw Wang Zhonglei and Li Chen together and were impressed.

"Director Li, President Wang, 'Aftershock' is not afraid of 'Inception'. Director Li, are you afraid of Director Feng?" the Sina reporter said with a smile.

"If Director Feng's 'Earthquake' really lives up to its 500 million box office slogan, you will be left far behind by Director Feng." The reporter from the Beijing News was not to be outdone.

Li Chen smiled heartily, looked at Wang Zhonglei and said, "Boss Wang, they want me and Director Feng to have a fight before Inception and Earthquake compete."

Wang Zhonglei also laughed and said, "Who made you and Xiaogang the top-selling directors in China?"

Li Chen laughed and said, "Boss Wang, second to none is a misnomer."

Wang Zhonglei was stunned. Yang Siwei was very perceptive and immediately picked up her boss's words and said with a smile: "Boss Wang, second to none means the best one."

"Compared to my boss, Director Feng is a little behind at the moment."

Yang Siwei secretly cursed Wang Zhonglei for being uneducated and showing off.

Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One" was sniped by her "Love Is Not Blind".

It's stuck at the threshold of the 3 million club.

And his boss has already become a member of the 3 million club thanks to "The Whistleblower".

Wang Zhonglei was slightly embarrassed.

The media was not distracted by Li Chen and continued to ask him: "Director Li, you haven't said whether you are afraid of Director Feng? Are you afraid of "Earthquake"? "

"Afraid?" Li Chen looked at the media in front of him with amusement.

Everyone laughed, this question was a joke.

"I remember a conversation I had with Mr. Han."

"What?" The media were smart enough to know that "Little Leo" was going to fight back.

“Films produced by Rongchen Pictures do not pick release dates;

Several media outlets, Wang Zhonglei, and Yao Chen all looked stunned.

These words are more than ten times more arrogant than Feng Xiaogang's.

He is worthy of being called the darling Leo!

Wang Zhonglei secretly swore in his heart: Just wait and see!
